I'm Nick | Cat Sitting in Brookline, MA

Hi! Thanks so much for considering me to watch over your little pal. I’ve been told I’m one of the Greater Boston Area’s best cat sitters. And yes, that is shameless SEO, but my clients will back me up on this. Here’s my origin story: back in 2014, my life was changed forever when I met my best friend, a big gray cat named Handles, or as I called him, “the Schman.” I loved him so - he passed away in 2023, and to honor his memory, I want to spread love and comfort to as many cats and kittens as I can. I currently have two pets brightening my day: a black-and-white 3 year-old cat named Miss Cleo and a feisty pomeranian known that I call Sweet Potato. I’m what they call “good with cats.” I ...

Learn More About Nick

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve taken care of cats for friends for a number of years - I think the first time I ever checked in on a little dude solo was probably a decade ago or so - and have recently shifted into doing this on Meowtel so that I can hang out with more cats!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love it when kitties are happy to see me - the second visit, after they realize that I’m the food dude, most cats typically go nuts.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

This feels like a trick question - every one of my cat sitting reservations is my favorite. That’s the best part: you get to meet so many great little guys, all with their own charms and quirks.

nick came through super last minute for my two cats after my sitter canceled the day before my trip! he was such a lifesaver and he took time to really understand my two senior cats’ routines. while i was away he did such a great job with them and sent photos and updates every day! my shy girls warmed up to him, which isn’t always the case. thanks again nick!

Nick took very good care of my cat Miranda. He was very understanding that I might not be able to reply to updates quickly as I was out of the country. He also understood some of the quirks that a senior 14 year old cat has. Pretty sure Miranda missed Nick when we came back. So she gave him very high regards.

Nick seems like a really nice guy. He came over so I could show him around briefly. He took notes on his phone about where all my kitties necessities were. Also, we talked about what my cat likes and dislikes. He sent me photos about how much my kitty loved him! My cat is very friendly, and they bonded immediately. I'm sure he is quite respectful of shy kitties, too.

Nick was amazing. He stepped in on very short notice and took great care of our not very sociable cats. They're ferals, and basically don't trust anybody very much, but he was able to get us pictures of one, and wisely refrained from taking a picture of the other in his hiding place, because it would have required a flash. That sort of 'cats-first' attitude is a real plus. Excellent communications, too. We'll definitely be calling on Nick again.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
